...Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Matrix is a four celled matrix (a 2 * 2 matrix) developed by BCG, USA. It is the most renowned corporate portfolio analysis tool. It provides a graphic representation for an organization to examine different businesses in it’s portfolio on the basis of their related market share and industry growth rates. It is a two dimensional analysis on management of SBU’s (Strategic Business Units). In other words, it is a comparative analysis of business potential and the evaluation of environment.According to this matrix, business could be classified as high or low according to their industry growth rate and relative market share.Relative Market Share = SBU Sales this year leading competitors sales this year. Market Growth Rate = Industry sales this year - Industry Sales last year. | The analysis requires that both measures be calculated for each SBU. The dimension of business strength, relative market share, will measure comparative advantage indicated by market dominance. The key theory underlying this is existence of an experience curve and that market share is achieved due to overall cost leadership. BCG matrix has four cells, with the horizontal axis representing relative market share and the vertical axis denoting market growth rate. The mid-point of relative market share is set at 1.0. if all the SBU’s are in same industry, the average growth rate of the industry is used. While, if all the SBU’s are located in different industries, then the mid-point...

...POPPER PÉTER A belső utak könyve 1981. *** Pertorini Rezső emlékének *** "Táncolni kell, Uram! A zene majd csak megjön valahonnan... " (Kazantszakisz: Zorbász, a görög) *** A régi keleti kultúrák hagyományait és a modern pszichológia eredményeit egyaránt felhasználó gyakorlatok sorozata. Nem lelki betegeknek készült, hanem azoknak, akik belső problémáik megoldását önmaguktól várják: bíznak önismeretük tartalékaiban és fejleszthetőségében. "A módszerek látszólag különbözők voltak, de más-más kultúrák más-más kifejezésmódján tulajdonképpen mindig ugyanaz hangzott el, s visszhangzik mindmáig: az, amit olyan pontosan fogalmazott meg a delphoi jósda felirata: Gnóthi szeauton - Ismerd meg önmagadat! A delphoicától jóslást kértek az emberek, a jövendőjükre, a sorsukra voltak kíváncsiak. A jós azt felelte: Ismerd meg önmagadat, és tudni fogod a sorsodat. Mert a sorsod te vagy. Nem külső erők uralkodnak rajtad, az istenek benned vannak, s jellemed, személyiséged alakítja, formálja jövődet. Változtass magadon, és változni fog a sorsod is. Fogadd el magadat, és el tudod majd fogadni sorsodat is. Ez a »gnóthi szeauton« igazi értelme. Ma úgy nevezzük: pszichoterápia. Más a kultúránk, más a nyelvünk, mások a szempontjaink, a módszereink, de a lényeg azonos" I. Miért és hogyan keletkezett ez a könyv Van egy ősi mesterség: az ember önmegismerésének fejlesztése, a pszichikum megbillent egyensúlyának helyreállítása, megzavart működéseinek rendezése - nevezhetjük gyógyításnak is.

...UNDERSTANDING THE DETERMINANTS OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN AFRICAN COUNTRIES: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS FOR GHANA AND SOUTH AFRICA LAURA MÁRQUEZ-RAMOS Universitat Jaume I Instituto de Economía Internacional ABSTRACT There are clear economic differences between developed and developing countries that lead to a different behaviour among them in the determinants of bilateral trade flows. Although a number of authors have focused on the determinants of the trade patterns, further research is needed for a better understanding of what goods and with which countries developed and developing economies trade. This paper focuses on the determinants of international trade in African countries. From an empirical perspective, two African economies, a developed (South Africa) and a developing country (Ghana) are analysed. Moreover, sector-heterogeneity is considered. Results show that determinants of trade have a different impact in developed and developing African countries. Geographical and social factors play a key role on trade relationships in South Africa. Moreover, technological innovation in importer countries leads to higher exports from this country. However, Ghanas exports are higher when they are addressed to countries with higher levels of economic freedom.

Foreword omputer networks are having dramatic impacts on our lives. What were once esoteric tools used only by scientists and engineers are becoming more widely used in schools, libraries, and businesses. At the same time, researchers are working to develop even more capable networks that promise to change fundamentally the way we communicate. This background paper analyzes technologies for tomorrow’s information superhighways. Advanced networks will first be used to support scientists in their work, linking researchers to supercomputers, databases, and scientific instruments. As the new networks are deployed more widely, they will be used by a broader range of users for business, entertainment, health care, and education applications. The background paper also describes six test networks that are being funded as part of the High Performance Computing and Communications Program. These test networks are a collaboration of government, industry, and academia, and allow researchers to try new approaches to network design and to attack a variety...
